Lol, who has these reefs where you can take rocks and corals out at will? My rocks are all carefully interlocked and the corals encrusted. But that was just an aside. Interesting about the H2O2. Any way it could be used inside the tank?

That's my problem... I want them gone, desperately, but I'm not in any position to remove the rock long term due to acros and montis encusting on it.

I've noticed some around an aiptasia that I hit with aiptasia X worked in that spot to kill the polyps. I think it would work if you have a small spot, but I wouldn't cover a large area with the stuff.

I am killing them with by putting kalk paste on them for a few hours then scrub them with a tooth brush. very slow process but I think I am winning the battle.

They seem to be quite easy to remove by scraping w a wooden stick. Aiptasia x melts them too. I wouldn't want to have to deal w large swaths of them, but I'm not too worried in my nano. Another blessing of a little tank.

They are very easy to remove. Anything rubbed or brushed against them clears the area. Problem is they come back in force. I thought I got rid of all of mine with a toothbrush but I was just spreading them.

Oh my boys are 3 and 2 they're young I DNA'd them but you can tell by looking at them too. Males have a very short and shallow "v" while the females "v" extends down the abdomen. Also a males under tail feathers are pure yellow whereas a female will have some green. I can sex any sennie by looking at them I work with birds but I'm in school to be an avian vet. Pm me a pic and I can sex it make sure you get a picture of underneath if you can. (Sorry for the hijack) or if you really wanted to DNA it that's easy too I can tell you how that's done
